Zed Hovercode download_qr

How to: Zed Hovercode download_qr

client:Zed transport:streamable-http tool:download_qr

Add Hovercode to Zed

  1. 01

    Open ~/.config/zed/settings.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.

{
  "context_servers": {
    "mcp": {
      "url": "https://hovercode.com/mcp/"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Zed.

  2. 03

    Ask for something download_qr does. Zed lists the server's tools on connect and calls download_qr itself — you do not invoke it by name.

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Hovercode's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.

Merge this into your existing settings object — do not replace the file. Zed docs

Set these first

Hovercode will not start until these are set, so download_qr never becomes available.

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 24 September 2026. It is what the server actually exposes, not what its listing claims.

Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
